There Was Once...

About This Movie

So, 'There Was Once...' is this really interesting 2022 animated flick that dives into themes of loneliness and redemption. You’ve got this ragtag group of misfit animals – a donkey, a disgraced dog, a hopeless cat, and a rooster that’s seen better days. The animation style is kind of charming, has a mix of whimsical and darker tones that really fits the narrative. The pacing is a bit leisurely, allowing for character development, which is nice. They band together to take control of their lives, kind of a classic underdog story but with a twist. It’s the kind of film that might not be for everyone, but it definitely stands out with its unique storytelling and emotional depth. Definitely worth a watch if you appreciate animation that leans into those more introspective moments.
